Singapore Summit: One Shot At Peace

History could be made in Singapore this week. 

All eyes will be on the tiny island in Southeast Asia this week when North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un and United States President Donald Trump meet in-person for the first time ever. This is a huge revelation between the two countries as the pair are still technically at war following decades of ceasefire in the aftermath of the Korean War. 

Trump called the summit a one shot opportunity at peace in an attempt for North Korean to dismantle their weapons of mass destruction that have been threatened upon the United States, South Korea, Japan and others, in an exchange for military protection. 

This event has some marking it the first achievement in Trump's foreign policy, as previous presidents have shunned away from Jong-Un and the two other dictators who came before him in Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il. Others consider the summit to be rushed and thoroughly planned with Trump wanting to chalk up a win for his administration. 

What's surprising about the summit is how quick the two world leaders were able to make light of the name calling and long-range missile tests less than six months ago. 

Negotiations for peace will take place on June 12 at the Capella Hotel on Singapore's Sentosa Island. Expected to be by Trump's side are Chief of Staff John Kelly and National Security Advisor John Bolton.
